Messaging Protocols
In order to transmit documents back and forth, companies need to establish a data
communication channel.
EDI messaging protocols are used to transfer data securely from computer -to-computer. These protocols are
used by the communication software/
application to describe the exchange
of data between companies.

Document standards

used. For quality assurance, organization

and maintain standards for EDI.
